Tonight I was standing in my kitchen doing dishes and felt something wet on my shirt (I wasnt wearing a bra). I thought I dropped some water. But I lefted my shirt and I had drops of milk on my breasts. I squeezed them a little more and got several drops from each breast. I dont mean just one or 2 I mean several constant drops. Is this any indication on how I might do on the protocol? Or is this just normal? I guess I wasnt expecting any milk until I started pumping and that is still 2 months away. What should I do at this point. Should I just continue the Yasmine and Domp or go ahead and pump or hand express? I am SOOOO HAPPY!!!! <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now be a good girl and leave your breasts alone and let the protocol continue to do it's job. The longer you stay on the meds the better your result will be.

It is so tempting to want to pump, but you must resist the urge. Buy yourself some nursing pads perhaps!

I've been pumping for 4 weeks now, and believe I've made it to 7 oz today -- it's very exciting to keep producing more each week! The other BIG news is our birthmom (EDC 5/31) has been having irregular contractions for the last two days, and she passed her mucus plug. I've got my suitcase packed now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work, Jewel!! And hold out on the pumping -- it's worth it!! -Karen

I can't wait to hear about your new little one. <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)
